From their market page
"The first attempt at changing the roaming mode will be slow - don't worry, this is supposed to happen.
I will honor refund requests within 24 hours since the new market only gives you 15 minutes to try out an app.
Please refer to the website for questions and report issues to [email protected]. Please allow a reasonable amount of time (at least 24 hours) for a response."
So I would request a refund now so that if you can't get it working, you at least get your money back....they might have a solution for you as well

Send me an email at roamcontrol (at) gmail (dot) com along with your Google Checkout number. Otherwise, does your phone stay on Sprint or does it lose the signal when going into "roam only" mode?

I can't get it to work either.... I select roam only and it makes no difference... using 1.5.

There are a few reasons that you might see issues with Roam Control:
1. Your phone isn't rooted. I've seen some people update to EB13 not knowing that it took away their root. You should see some type of pop-up error if this is the case.
2. You have a Samsung phone and you live in a 1900mhz only area. See here. You will see your signal disappear if this is the case.
3. You are using a pirated version of the app. I can't take any responsibility for issues with an unlicensed copy of Roam Control. Honestly, I would be a little nervous giving root permissions to a pirated app, but that's just me.
It's always possible that something else is wrong too. Usually an uninstall and fresh re-install through the market fixes things. If not, feel free to send me an email and I'll be happy to help!

Mrgreg. I've noticed roam control stoped working on any of are froyo builds after the newest update. I haven't been able to locate a older version for testing as I'm afraid of installing a pirated app with root permissions. I'm willing to work with you on solving this matter if you like

Well yea my phone is rooted. and I used to use 1.4 and it was fine....1.5...it stopped and I cantfind that anywhere

It works fine on EB13 Stock. Are you guys who are having problems using a different ROM?

No rom. I'm running 2.2.1 stock

Do you mean the newest update of Roam Control? What specifically are you seeing? Do you see any error messages, does your phone lock up, etc?
I have a new version on my computer that's more similar to 1.4. The underlying implementation is the same for all of them but the trigger mechanism is different. I need to do a little more testing (have been super busy this past week) and I'll push it out the the market. I expect it to help with intermittent issues that a few people are having.

It just didn't do nothing. No fc our anything. It asks for root and I give it root access. But it didn't force the phone to roam. Phone dont lock up either.

count me in as well. I try to force roaming with the app on my rooted 2.2 epic and it just tells me to purchase roam control from the market even though I did

Count me in too. Doesn't work, was in a bad signal area so I couldn't request a refund. Honestly I don't mind having paid for it provided the issues are fixed (once discovered obviously) in a reasonable amount of time. Greg, if there's any way you could send a few of us a copy of 1.4 for testing purposes (I'd be happy to verify my purchase...somehow) maybe we could help figure out what's going on.
One thing I'll mention, it seems if I toggle back and forth like a spastic child between auto and roam, eventually it will roam, on the auto setting, then switch back after a minute or so to a sprint tower. Rooted EB13 with overclock kernel (same issue without). Hope this helps.
Please keep us posted as I will be monitoring this thread.

hmm
my roam control works without an issue.
its worked on: cm6
bonsai (all versions)
stock deodex eb13
2.1 and 2.2 modems
both app version 1.4 and current 1.5
however, most calls to go straight to vm. In my opinion, this is generally a positive thing. ha ha.

Does it still show as "purchased" when you go into the market? Go ahead and install the latest version and fire it up, it's probably just having difficulty contacting the licensing server.

Spoke to you over email...appears to the 800mhz vs 1900mhz thing for Samsung phones.

Disabling Apps ? and Caution

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

I have a question related to your.
I disabled google search, and it disappeared from app list.
If i want to re-enable it, what should i do?

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

Mine is still working. Wonder when this is taking effect?

Probably can just spoof your phone as a galaxy s3 via the build.prop and it should still work.

That program is a bust on my device anyway... /uninstall

I tried it and wasnt that excited about it. I was running GB and even flashed up to ICS just to try it. After checking it out I restored back to GB. When I had my 3D I tried vlingo, iris, and Jeannie. Not to impressed by any of them.

Finally just killed it on my phone. Was hoping to skate by on the whole Galaxy II thing but nope. Pretty obvious even if it's released for other Galaxy devices like the SII they will cut it off for use with other devices. Be smart, release it as a paid app, like $1.99 for other non Sammy models. Recoup those losses somehow

I agree! Put it on the market plus $1.99 hell I'll pay for it. but couldn't you just edit build.prop spoof sgs3 ?? I think that won't work! Anyone has tried spoofing it and it worked?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Wouldn't changing build.prop work ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You would need to change a number of items. Plus how much of it is working. It does transmit what carrier you are on as well as carrier country. SIII not available on all providers atm, so I wonder if they blocked out by carrier and carrier country as well.

I found this fix that has a modified apk to make it appear to be coming from a GS III.

I uninstalled it, it didn't appeal to me.

uninstalling/installing an app is easier and less time consuming than manually changing your build.prop and restarting. also, changing your build.prop doesn't fix the problem, it patches the problem. the problem is with the app not your phone, so dont fix your phone -- fix the app.

I wouldn't say that because it fixed my problem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

Working with the new apk, the one draw back is it seems I get more functionality from Vlingo itself than this app. IE car mode and opening of apps.
When I say play a certain song no go, fc. Using Vlingo it works flawless.

patching the app worked for me. Someone on this board posted a pre-patched svoice-patched.apk which worked very well to fix my "network errors". Works fine now, FCs notwithstanding. Not super impressed by the app, feels like a gussied-up vlingo. Ain't no siri.

i didn't say it wouldn't give you your desired outcome, but it didn't fix the problem because the problem isn't the phone -- the problem is the app. by changing your build.prop, you may have introduced other problems that you haven't triggered yet or aren't aware of (such as apps on the market that wont install on gs3 devices).

strange thing when disabling apps after new update.

So I Odined the new full stock ROM, cleared data/cache to start over fresh, bone stock. Now when I disable apps from the settings/applications menu, they used disappear from the apps list. Now in there place is a generic picture for all the disabled apps with the app name. I hit them and they just say app not found, or something like that.
Anyone else run in to this?

This is what Im talking about.

Press menu while in app drawer and then hide apps. That should remove them from the drawer.

Thanks, I realise I can do that, Im just wondering if its caused by the new update, or if its something with my phone itself.

If anyone has a few minutes to kill, and you've updated and stock, not rooted or anything with a lot of apps disabled, would you mind enabling them all, then rebooting the phone, and disabling them again? I know it's a PITA, so thank you very much.

I'm kinda new to Touchwiz, so I don't know if this would have any side effects, but you could try to clear data for the launcher then reboot.

Clearing app defaults

Got used to nova launcher (and bought prime) since I was on my s3 with liquid smooth, but now being back at touch wiz I keep getting a message saying that I need to clear my app defaults. Makes me choose which launcher to use each time.
Had this problem on touchwiz with my s3 but went aosp and didn't have the problem again. Kinda liking tw on this phone so I'd like to stay with it if I can figure this out. Already tried clearing all defaults and then tried going into the specific apps and clearing the defaults. No luck. Help?

Why not FREEZE the launchers you do not want to use with Titanium backup, that way they will still be
there in case you ever want to use or mess around with those other launchers.
By doing that your default launcher will always be used without a popup box asking you what to do.
If you want to use another launcher which is frozen just unfreeze it...
I know that normally you should not have to do this, but if you just cannot figure it out it does not hurt
anything to freeze a launcher.
good luck!
